project type: Commercial

area: 5000 m2

status: in progress – design

project team

client: private

designer: allard architecture

For this project, allard architecture was asked to design a new industrial complex. Situated in the harbour area of west Amsterdam, near the Sloterdijk train station. Located in an industrial zone, the building will stand out as it brings discrete manufacturing from a near-the-ground horizontal programme to a seven storey vertical building. A large freight elevator will be able to put cars on every floor. Number of floors will have extra load bearing capacity to allow for heavy machinery such as a forklift. The presence of double height spaces, cantilevered volumes and roof terraces together result in the building's dynamic shape.
